Scapegoating, in this case, is a consequence of an action. Not the other way around. No, I can not speak for other countries but I do follow international news. And that tells me that right wing parties are gaining a massive following all over western Europe, that's no coincidence.

Life is difficult in Europe at the moment. The economy is going downhill, lots of people are unemployed, and quality of living is getting worse. At times like this, it's common behaviour for people to search out easy solutions for complex problems. And that's what right-wing parties specialise in. Blaming the 'other' is so much simpler than actually dealing with shit, after all.
It's behaviour that has been seen over-and-over again in history. When economies go down, racist right-wing parties gain power.
